Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 468 - 453: The Power of the Four Seasons and Awakening

Chapter 468: Chapter 453: The Power of the Four Seasons and Awakening

The moment the Four Seasons Barrier shattered, Chun Yufan and the other three were almost scared enough to use their family’s life-saving items and flee immediately. But seeing that Xiaoruan didn’t join the battlefield, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Others didn’t know the strength of the Four Seasons Barrier, but they did. They knew they were absolutely no match for the existence that could break the Four Seasons Barrier in one blow.

Xia Wuju transmitted a message: "Brother Fan, should we run? The opponent seems quite fierce, and we might not be able to handle them."

Xia Wuju was inclined to retreat because Xiaoruan’s All Things Annihilation Ball could instantly take away one of his pet beasts. Although he had a family with abundant resources behind him, and nurturing another king-level pet beast wasn’t difficult, there was competition within the family. If he fell behind, others might surpass him.

Besides, even if the task to hunt down Li Cunxu failed, as one of the family’s most promising talents, he wouldn’t face severe punishment.

Chun Yufan immediately transmitted back: "We can’t run."

Xia Wuju asked via transmission: "Why can’t we run?"

Of course, it’s because I assured the clan leader I would complete the task.

But this couldn’t be said.

Chun Yufan responded via transmission: "That was just Slime. To release such an attack must have exhausted its Spiritual Energy, and it can’t release another. If we flee now and the next group finds out that Slime can only release such an attack once, and word gets out, we would become cowards afraid of danger."

Xia Wuju responded via transmission: "Brother Fan is indeed thoughtful."

Under the Myriad Phenomena Law’s amplification, all pet beasts reached King Nine.

Li Cunxu’s pet beasts initially had the upper hand, suppressing the four’s twenty-four pet beasts. But as the battle went on, something felt off.

The first to notice something was wrong was the Black Flame Horse.

Spring Wind Beast, Spring Thunder Beast, Spring Sleep Beast... these were its defeated subordinates. Logically, the Black Flame Horse could quickly defeat them, but no, they seemed to have a super-strong healing buff, and any damage inflicted on them was healed in less than a second.

Moreover, the Black Flame Horse felt its plundered speed slipping away, as if the speed was returning to the Spring Beasts.

Next to notice something amiss was the Blood Lotus Flame Dragon.

It discovered that the Burning Lotus Blood Fire had scorched the Four Seasons Clan’s Spring Beasts, Summer Beasts, Autumn Beasts, and Winter Beasts for a long time, yet they remained energetic.

Xia Wuju sneered, "I thought you were powerful! Turns out you’re just so-so."

However, despite saying this, Xia Wuju’s eyes were filled with dread towards Xiaoruan, who broke the Four Seasons Barrier.

Jiang Lingyun quietly took out a life-saving tool with her right hand and tugged on Li Cunxu’s sleeve with her left.

"Boss, we seem to be losing. Should we escape?"

Li Cunxu smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m deliberately not dealing with them."

The reason Chun Yufan’s pet beasts suddenly became stronger and even the Black Flame Horse couldn’t move them was actually known to Li Cunxu.

It’s the Time Law — the Four Seasons, coming into play.

The Four Seasons Clan is composed of four families, all stemming from the same source. The Chun Family comprehends the Spring Law, the Xia Family the Summer Law, the Qiu Family the Autumn Law, and the Dong Family the Winter Law.

When the four laws of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter meet, they fuse into the Four Seasons Law. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Four Seasons Law, as a type of Time Law, is quite perverse, enabling constant seasonal cycles to refresh states. Originally injured, after one cycle, injuries would fully heal.

Negative states like curses or poison are also cleared after one seasonal cycle.

Each seasonal cycle also refills their Spiritual Energy completely.

However, the Four Seasons Law has flaws; otherwise, Li Cunxu would have his Curse Crow with the opportunity to comprehend the Time Law also learn the Four Seasons Law.

The flaw of the Four Seasons Law is that every use of a seasonal cycle reduces a pet beast’s lifespan by one year.

Jiang Lingyun asked perplexedly, "Can it be solved? Why deliberately leave them unsolved?"

Li Cunxu said, "To remind Xiaobai Spider and the others to remain humble, always remembering there’s always someone stronger."

Li Cunxu’s pet beasts had always had a problem—they grew too quickly, becoming too powerful, with few rivals at the same level, which made them prone to arrogance. Though previously warned and affected to some extent, the issue reappeared, more subtly this time. Their arrogance wasn’t on the surface, but rooted deep, invisible without careful observation.

How did Li Cunxu notice this?

Because he too became somewhat arrogant.

As a Transmigrator with the knowledge of two lifetimes, having even conquered the Master of Endless Time in his past life, if he was like this, could his pet beasts avoid it?

But it’s not their fault, nor his, as they really grew too fast, making it hard for their mindset to adapt.

It’s like how someone who suddenly earns hundreds of millions in USD might become overly confident.

So, Li Cunxu deliberately let the pet beasts empowered by the Four Seasons Law serve as a wake-up call for Xiaobai Spider and the others.

A wake-up call for Xiaobai Spider and the others also served as a wake-up call for himself.

Li Cunxu saw Xiaobai Spider and the others treating their enemies with much more seriousness, realizing the wake-up call had an effect.

"Time to solve it, Xiaoruan."

Xiaoruan immediately unleashed All Things Seal and True Slime Transformation Technique. These two moves of Xiaoruan’s were so classic that anyone who studied Li Cunxu’s previous exploits knew of them well, so Chun Yufan had always been on guard against these two moves.

Chun Yufan revealed two treasured mirrors, one being the Tier Five Treasure: Sealing-Defense Mirror. Under its light, all sealing skills were nullified; the other was a Tier Three Treasure: Transformation-Defense Mirror, rendering all transformation skills ineffective.

All Things Seal was nullified by the Sealing-Defense Mirror, but the True Slime Transformation Technique wasn’t nullified by the Transformation-Defense Mirror.

The True Slime Transformation Technique is an imperial skill, beyond the Transformation-Defense Mirror’s capabilities.

One by one, the Spring Beasts, Summer Beasts, Autumn Beasts, and Winter Beasts transformed into soft, bouncy Slimes.

Not just the pet beasts, but Chun Yufan and the other three were also transformed into Slimes.

The sudden transformation plunged the four into chaos as their bodies turned into Slimes, causing their space rings to fall off, along with the life-saving items hidden inside. This heightened their panic as they tried to retrieve them, but the round, jelly-like hands of their Slime bodies hindered them greatly.

Before they could retrieve them, Li Cunxu’s Spiritual Power swept away all those items.

The four responded, using Spiritual Power to compete with Li Cunxu.

Although they turned into Slimes, their Spiritual Power remained unaffected.

As talents cultivated by the Hidden Clan, their Spiritual Power was indeed strong but not as abundant as Li Cunxu’s. Li Cunxu’s emphasis was on having plenty.

While their Spiritual Power wrestled, the pet beasts didn’t idle.

The Spring Beasts attempted to use the seasonal cycle of the Four Seasons to refresh away the negative state of Slime transformation, but the transformation of the True Slime Transformation Technique was firm, requiring at least three or four cycles to refresh.

Three or four seasonal cycles would take three to four seconds.

During this time, the Black Flame Horse went all out, aiming to kill these Spring Beasts turned into fragile Slimes within that duration.
